. DON’T BE GREEDY If the gentlemen who are industriously trying to combine the two electric light utilities of this city believe that this is a propitious time to get over an exaggerated valuation on their properties, they may be mistaken The preliminary announcements are most delightfully vague as to the exact amount of stocks which the public service will be asked to authorize as the value of the combine when it is made. Even in these days of big figures there is something rather suspicious when no estimate is made which does not range from ‘‘forty to fifty millions. The combination of these rival utilities is logical, of course, if it eliminates waste and duplicate effort In the furnishing of a necessity. Light, heat and power are fundamental to city growth. That there would be a combination was easily predictable from the day that Samuel Insull, somewhat famous for his donations to public utility commissioners, entered the city, bought control of one plant and paid a fancy price for a huge block of etock in his rival upon which he could expect immediate dividends. It was certain when the local company changed its corporate front for the purpose of protection of the stockholders who did not sell to Insull. Now the people are to see what is happening to them and to public utilities when rivals get together for their common good. The public service commission will be asked to fix a value upon these two properties. The amount fixed will determine rates on light and power for all time. It will also determine the amount of "wages” which will be asked for the service of pooling their interests. The first announcement carries with it a suggestion that the combination will be valued at anywhere from eight to fifteen millions of dollars more than the two plants are worth separately. Undoubtedly the financiers have their experts who will be ready to prove that such is the case, unless the public wakes up and hunts for the fallacy of their figures. Quite as certain is the fact that there will be an effort to collect from people of this city all the increased values caused by the war and the consequent rise in prices of materials that 'go into electric light plants. The owners of utilities have the fixed idea that they ought to be able to collect war debts from the people who fought and won the war. They want what they call a “reproduction value” which means war prices for their property bought before the war. Perhaps these men may think that because the people are very much interested in looking at the dismal picture of Indiana government, with its unbelievable infamies and its plots and conspiracies, too intent on punishing politicians who rose to power through corruption and fraud, to take notice of so small a thing as a clear get away with ten or fifteen millions of dollars. < The Times hastens to assure them that such is not the fact. Any effort to gouge the people at this time will be exposed quite as completely and as thoroughly as The Times haß exposed graft and corruption and treasons in office and In politics. It pledges just as thorough a job here as it has performed in the Stephenson matter. WATSON REVEALED The very first witness in the Reed probe makes quite understandable the attitude of Senator James Watson toward an investigation of the machine by which he hopes to get back into power. There can be none so dull or so servile to the Senator as to fail now, to know what the last thing that Watson wanted was an inquiry before the Reed committee, the occasion for which was furnished so opportunely by Clyde Walb. For Watson stands revealed as the beneficiary and the political prop of a super Government which had a very direct interest in him and had hoped to place him where It could march through the White House .with its fantastic fanaticism triumphant and its puppuppet In the presidency. Certainly Watson must be very important to the schemes of those who are trying to rule State when an offer of SIO,OOO is made to a man who has a following of only 800 men who rebelled against a surrender of their Americanism. No wonder Watson failed to join with The Times in demanding that Reed come here to investigate Stephensonism and did nothing but obstruct and interfere when It was doubtful whether Reed come to probe the charge of Clyde Walb as to wholesale corruption. For if \^ T atson has his secret bargains with the present rulers of the invisible empire, it is quite as reasonable to believe that an investigation o£ the rule of Stephenson in his days of political power would find Watson also the political pal and partner of the man who is serving a life sentence at Michigan City. For if there is at the present time such unusual efforts being made to corrupt elections by giving bribes of SIO,OOO to one man, what is to be said of the days when Stephenson was at the height of his power and had wealth rolling into his coffers? When, just when, did Watson begin his dickerings and his relations with this order? Was it not when Stephenson ruled this State and the party to which Watson gives allegiance? What were its relatiohships with Stephenson, what letters did he send, what favors did he extend? Perhaps the Reed committee may not be able to discover this part of Indiana's political history. Perhaps that was one reason that iimmediately from the Watson camp came a reminder that Reed had no power to go into the 1924 elections and conditions. At least, it is reasonable to suppose that suoh waa the reason for this hasty effort to limit the Reed committee, the hurried protest against a probe at all. Shocking as is the evidence at the Reed hearing, it is even less shocking than the Watson attitude since the first charges of graft and corruption came from the Stephenson cell. For his has been the shocking altitude of an effort to conceal, to hide and cover rather than to drag into the light the full facts. t It was not until Watson had time to learn that Governor Jackson and Clyde Walb had been forced by Col. Theodore Roosevelt to take a stand for a full inquiry that Watson even condemned corruption. At 6 o’clock one evening at Kokomo he had gone on record as saying that all this is a trivial matter, in he was not interested* At 10:45 that night

he had decided that he was against corruption and that the guilty should he punished. At no time has he asked for nn investigation—not even when his manager, Clyde Walb, announced that there was evidence of corrupt money in every precinct in the State for the purpos# of defeating him At no time has he given to the people a sign that he is ready to clean out corruptionists through any orderly channel. The best that he has done was approve of a plan for a committee named by men who might be properly under suspicion. There stands Watson. It hardly needed the dramatic story of the $16,000 offer to one man to support him to reveal and expose his weakness. That is one of the details of the picture. Watson had already revealed himself All else is but to corroborate w r hat he has already proved. EUGENE Y. DEBS Most folk can not agree with the economic theories of Eugene V- Debs, five times Socialist candidate for the presidency, but few will dispute that he was one of the most remarkable of his time. He was so because of his constancy to his ideals, his never-failing courage In his life-long fight for those ideals, and his tender and human sympathy for the underdog. It takes a great figure in the drama of life to go to prison unflinchingly in the belief that he is right and the rest of society wrong, and to accept a pardon from the President of the United States with a simple dignity which outmatched that of the President who gave the pardon. Debs’ war experiences, however, were only one high light in a life ever conducted as a battle against what he conceived to be oppression and wrong. The Pullman strike, for which he first went to jail, his many other bitter experiences, the obloquy and rage ■which seemed at times as if its burden must overwhelm even the most lion-hearted of men—all these experiences only threw into Sharper relief his great human qualities. DO THE FRENCH PAY TAXES l Popular suppositions are hard to down. Four or five years ago somebody remarked that, the French people pay almost no taxes. Ever since then, whenever the subject of war debts is broached—which, like prohibition not infrequently happens—some one invariably remarks: “If the French taxed themselves a little more heavily they would pay what they owed without the slightest trouble.” Last night’s cables from Paris brought the news that the Poincare government had completed France's 1927 budget. Calls for expenditures totaling approximately fifty billion francs. As it is estimated that France's national income is about 15,000,000,000 francs a year simple arithmetic shows that about a third of this will be taken back from the people to meet the government’s expenses. ' TOO BAD IF. TRUE Roumanian diplomats are reported deeply incensed over efforts to ‘‘commercialize” the visit of Queen Marie. How terribly they must feel to read the queen’s own story under her own signature in the public prints. Commercialization? Bauish the thought!

MANAGING OTHER PEOPLE’S' LIVES 'By N. D. Cochran- ■

It sometimes happens that men develop such a mania for managing the lives of others that they neglect and fall successfully to manage their own. Consider the activities of Sebastian S. Kresge, who has amassed a great fortune by running 6-and-10-cent stores. For years he has been one of the most liberal contributors to the Anti-Saloon League, which has undertaken to reform all who look upon the wine when it is red, or otherwise indulge in intoxicating beverages. In Detroit the general manager or Kresge’s 5-and--10-cent business is also a militant Christian. For he is president of the Detroit Young Men’s Christian Association, and assumed responsibility for withdrawing the invitation previously extended to President Green, of the American Federation of Labor, to speak under the auspices of the Detroit Y. M. C. A. In a business way Mr. Kresge has been a great success, but he appears to have been less fortunate as a husband and head of a family. At any rate he has had two wives and both of them got away. His first wife, Mrs. Anna Harvey Kresge, who rose with him from ordinary circumstances to riches and became the mother of his five children, divorced him in 1923. A few months afterward the energetic Mr. Kresge, who is 57 years old, married a second wife, who is 32. In New York the other day a Supreme Court Justice temporarily enjoined him from prosecuting in Detroit a suit for divorce against his second wife, Doris Mercer Kresge. * It appears that while Mr. Kresge ha.\ Jived in New York for many years,' he started the divorce suit against his second wife In Detroit, claiming that he was a resident of that city, and charging his wife with desertion, which is legal ground for divorce In Michigan. Mrs. Kresge asked for the injunction on tl* ground that Mr. Kresge is a resident of New York State and not of Michigan. Several months ago the second Mrs. Kresge sued her husband for 2,500 shares of the S. S. Kresge Cos. stock, worth about $2,000,000, which she charged was due her under a. pre-nuptial agreement. Mr. Kresge contended that Mrs. Kresge received the stock before marriage, while she was a music student. But Mrs. Kresge contends that there was anew agreement and that it referred to 2,500 additional shares. But no matter. The financial agreements between Mr. Kresge and his second wife need not concern us. Neither need we bother about why his first wife and mother of five children divorced him and the second wife left him. It Is possible that he was too good. Many things are possible. The outstanding fact is that the man who was so successful as a business man, and who so loved his fellow-men that he became tremendously interested in reforming them and managing their lives for them, appears to have made a mess of managing two wives, or of so managing himself that they wouldn’t leave him. If there is any moral at all to this story it may be that a man may get a big kick out of spending his money to reform everybody else and get away with it, but when he lets his reforming zeal tempt him to try it out on his wife—well, that’s something else again.

THE INDIANAPOLIS TIMES

Tracy Patience, Courage Made Debs Outstanding Apostle in U, S,

* By M. E. Tracy Eugene V. Debs was too great an impression on this country for his passing to go unnoticed. He was one of those rare men who grow brilliant with borrowed ideas. Adding little to the doctrines of socialism, he became its outstanding apostle in America. If Taft had not sentenced him to six months in jail some thirty years ago, he might never have embarked on the career he did. Patience, courage an da consistent personality gave hint almost undisputed control over the Socialist party. Five times he was its candidate for President, once while a p-lsoner of the Federal Government.

The remark for which he was sent to prison would be considered commonplace, if not trite, under ordinary circumstances. This served to create widespread symixithy in his Ijehalf after the excitement and emotionalism incident to war had died down. The American people have no more use for socialism than they ever did, hut they have a much kindlier feeling toward Eugene V. Debs. -I- •!• -IMore Swimming To read this year's sporting record one would the human race had turned aquatic, especially the better half of it. What the ladies have done in the water during the last six months is enough to make your head swim. They have negotiated the English Channel as though it were an ordinary broqk. gone the length of Boston harbor, crossed the Chesapeake Bay and made the circuit of Manhattan Island. Now comes Mrs. Lottie Moore Schoemmel to cap the climax by swimming from Albany to New York in the drear, drizzly month of October. Clad in nothing but axle grease, she breasted the frosty currents of “Father Hudson” for a total of 57 hours. It- was a noble stunt and furnishes unquestionable proof of female strength and endurance, but suppose some mill or factory were to demand that women take such a plunge for even fifteen minutes? j. -I- -I- -IThat Free Trade Cry A great yell for free trade, but it has a different sound when taken up by foreign bankers and captains of industry. The big European brethren want a more open American market in which to dump their cheap goods made possible by cheap labor. To be sure, they did not say as much in that appeal for lower tariffs. ' They were circumspect, as men of international stature should be, and spoke In guarded general terms. They seemed to have only Europe in mind, but they meant America, and they spoke grandly of world trade, when their thoughts were of our consuming power and our, cash. For the nation with low wages and low living standards, free trade Is obviously a blessing. If we want to level things out and go down as the Chinese coolie comes up, fre# trade offers the quickest and most available means. We cannot be unreasonable with our protective measures, of course, or set up such tariff barriers as would strangle commerce, but this Is no time for America to throw her doors open just because a crowd of European industrialists see a chance to get rich by selling her low priced products and throwing a lot of her own people out of work. + + + The Pioneer Today Your real pioneer is no longer a Marco Polo tramping through unknown lands, a Columbus sailing into the sunset, a Standley penetrating the African jungle, or a Peary driving his dog team across the ice pack. He is in the laboratory that a human hair would more than fill, dealing with forces that are beyond the ear and eye, scaling heights that nothing but abstract thought can hope to reach. Your real pioneer of today is crossing incalculable spaces on the wings of pure mathematics and is generating intangible power by intangible agencies. •I- -I- -IThe Cathode Ray They call it the Cathode ray, this newly isolated bit of devilishness that Dr. W.

Theatre Guild Presents Tull’s Play: Schumann-Heink to Be Here Friday

$ Playing to a house in which every* seat .was taken the Indianapolis Theatre Guild opened Its 1926-27 season, at the Masonic Temple last night with the presentation for the first time on any stage of “Q. E. D„” u drama in three acts, by Maurice Carter Tull. „ , From the standpoint of anew play on it's opening performance hist night's' presentation was a success, the theme of “Q. E. D ,“ is novel in the extreme, and for that matter it would l>e hard to say just what Impression the play will or would make in the future after the necessary alterations have taken place. As the play Is now it is too long. There are speeches by many of the characters that de'eat " their own purpose by their length, such as that of Fate, who in the closing scene tears down the work of the weird characters hi the story. The end comes just a' bit too abruptly, iAptead of bringing the mental action to a brilliant point and then leaving it the present conclusion halts the processes of the play so suddenly that the audience is left wondering with no idea or explanation to offer themselves. Such Is my Idea of ‘‘Q. E. D„” these things which I have talked about are but minor things when It cotnes to remodeling a play, they are simple enough to alter and I think the play would then be good dramatic material. The story deals with a young girl, who has ambitions and talent for sculpture. The scene is Indianapolis and she is shown in her room in a rooming house on Pennsylvania St. All the action takes place in this room and during a single night. "We are shown the girl at a crucial point in her life. She has reached the turning point w'here she must either go on with her art or go with her lover, which means complete abandonment of her ambition of fame and wealth as a i sculptress. The author here uses his unique method, of molding the mind and decision of his principal character. I The walls of the room are given I speech and the power to show this girl what has happened before in j the same room.. Dreams are called | in ds the medium to express the message of the walls and through her dreams the girl is made aware of all the tragedy and beauty that the walls have looked upon. Some may not like this method, but it Is effective. The author leads you along In his story so easily that It is somewhat of a shock to find at the end that he has Just been playing with you and tells you why. For that is what he does w’hen he brings In Fate to undo the work of the dreams. The cast was excellent, the scenes and mechanical work of the very best order, and from our viewpoint the author and members who took part are to be congratulated on their offering of “Q. E. D.” Those who took part were: Mrs. Duland Mrs. A. V. Beeler Bridget Mrs. Carl H. Lieber Phyllis Wray . . Angeline Bates Dougherty Jack Felsch Darrell Snyder Walis Reid Thornberry Lady of Beautiful Dreams. . . Alice Cooper Demon of Dreadful Dreams. .Carter Moore Sleep Lester Horton Mrs. Sutton . . .

(By John T. Hawkins.) I- I ISCHI7M VNXHEINK GIVES HER IDEAS ABOUT MUSIC “There are many fine American voices,” says Mme. SchumannHeink, famous contralto who “will be heard here on Friday night at the Murat under the direction of Ona B. Talbot. “The only trouble is that there ure so many Inferior ones blocking the traffic and trying to create a place for themselves when they ought to be home in the kitchen, or. at best serving tea. I could name a dozen young Americans who are coming rapidly to the front but I won’t do it. I’m a peaceable person! But this I shall say: Let a voice of teal merit appear with musical sense and determination to back it up and watch the managers scramble to get it!” “But young singers are too eager to get to the top quickly. Too many of them have good enough voices but not talent. Others have the voices and the ability but won’t work. The three together are absolutely necessary. Let a competent critic, not a vocal teacher, try you

“Passing Show”

Ted HeaJy

In the cast of “The Passing Show” at English’s this week is Ted Healy, well-known in vaudeville before going into revues. out and It will appear quickly whether or not you have all the musiclanly Instincts. If you have, und are patient and not afraid of years of hard work, you ought to be successful. Above all, you must deny yourself luxury, bo eontent with simple living and not permit yourself to be beaten by a few disappointments.” Madame Schumann-Heink does not believe that girls seeking careers as singers should rush off to the larger cities In search of instruction. “They should get their preliminary instruction at home,') she says, “unless home conditions are utterly impossible. If there are no good teachers In their villages or small towns they should go to the nearest small city, because usually there is to be found a really good teacher conducting a choir or teaching independently just because he or she prefers the surroundings to those of the metropolis. And there are literally thousands of fake teachers who simply use

to give the Times radio listeners. More than twenty-four numbers will be on De Sautelle’s program. Other artists will be Miss Frances McConnell, pianist, and Clarence M. Weesner in piano monologues. Several surprise events are planned.

The Kay sisters are dancers who specialize in interpretative bits of tcrpsichore as well as eccentric steps. Vera Menning is the featured musician who has several specialities. Wally Jackson has the roll of an infuriated man who has been trying for many minutes to get a telephone number in “Number. Please.” Finally he gives up, and the scene switches. The two telephone operators desert their post of duty and engage in several song and dance turns with Jackson. The girls are Dorothy Stone and Alma Davis. Called the “foremost ventriloquist” Lester appears with his funny dummy, and without his lips moving at all, presents his act of vocal tricks. Wright and Dietrich plunge Into a round of popular songs and artistic numbers. Their act is billed “A Melange of Mirth and Melody.” Herbert's leaping dogs are greyhounds, fox terriers, poodles and other breeds. He also has some roosters: cats and pigeons In the act.. One of the hounds leaps over a six-teen-foot barrier at the close of the act. Priscilla Dean and Robert Frazer are starred in the film, “The Speeding Venus,” billed a comedy full of thrills and laughs. Pathe News, a comedy, and topics of the day are also on the screen. -I- -I- -!- Other theaters today offer: “Passing Show',” at English’s; Will Mahoney, at Keith’s; James J.
